Training​

Training days

​Most junior teams train one afternoon a week for one hour, usually dependent on when the coach is available, which means we can't usually tell you training times until the teams and coaches are identified. If there are afternoons when you can't do training, please let us know when you sign up and we will try to sort you into a suitable team.

The good news is, most coaches will offer up a choice of day, which will be negotiated by the parents. If you want complete control over training times, we like to suggest volunteering to coach! No experience necessary.

Komodos teams will train twice a week. Which days they train will be as above, up to the coaches.

The length of training sessions generally increases as teams move into the competitive age groups, with many of the older teams training twice a week.

The Club often runs additional training clinics for juniors wanting additional skills training as well as an after-school academy program at New Farm State School.

All players are encouraged to bring a water bottle to training sessions.

Attendance

Please let your coach or manager know if you can't make it to training.

What to wear

Junior teams have access to the red club training shirt, green shorts and red socks, and please use shin pads and soccer boots for safety. We encourage our Coaches to enforce a "no shin pads, no play" rule for both training and matches.

Training in wet weather

If it is rainy, it is up to your Coach and Manager to decide if you will go ahead with training. Your Manager will let you know. If the field is wet, please avoid playing on the muddy areas.

Training during holidays

Most junior teams train only during school term (unless the last day of term), even on weeks where there is no scheduled game, with time off during school holidays. This is completely up to the coach, and as your child grows they may be required to attend training during school holidays to ensure their skill level increases appropriately.

Teams are welcome to train during the school holidays Coaches and Managers may even like to contact other teams to arrange a fun game or train together.

Use of training equipment

U8+ Teams are allocated team balls, kept in cages in the equipment room. Coaches are welcome to use any other equipment (ie poles, goals, hurdles, ladders, bibs, etc) from the Club equipment room. Each team has a designated training kit. If you have equipment requirements or are interested in getting specialist training equipment, the coach or manager can contact clubadmin@newfarmsoccer.com.au.

However, please be mindful to:

only take out what you need so that there is enough equipment to go around

return equipment to its original location after training sessions

keep the equipment room as neat and tidy as possible

children cannot play in the equipment room

if you notice that equipment is broken, please let us know by contacting clubadmin@newfarmsoccer.com.au.
